5

Really A Good Versatile Vehicle For Shopping, Hauling, Traveling —
I like pretty much everything about this car.
everything works well, except the one window that doesnt roll down.
back seats lay down for better hauling, storage, etc
very good work car - easy handling and parking
nice bright blue color makes it easy to spot in parking lot

Pros

Cheap and Reliable

Cons

Needs more power and stiffer suspension for pulling the smallest of trailers

25

Perfect Little V —
I love these little suv's. they are cheap, reliable and can do anything you throw at it. I will keep this until the wheels fall off. I just pulled my first trailer with this and it was 1,200 pounds. I pulled it doing 75 MPH for 210 miles. Had no problems.

Pros

Reliable and cheap to operate.

Cons

Not very stylish.

35

Honda Cr-v Reliable —
The Honda CR-V is extremely reliable. No major problems since purchase in 2001. AWD works great and it is roomy for its size. it is not the most sleek and stylish vehicle on the road, but it is worth the tradeoff. Would highly recommend to anybody.

Pros

Surpisingly quick & good handling in a large, safe car

Cons

A little thirsty on fuel

Lovely Car - Would Definitely Purchase Another One —
Performance - For a larger car, it accelerates well and handles well with the
automatic 4wd system kicking in.
Build Quality - For a 9 year old car, it is in remarkably good condition with very
little in the way of repairs / rattles etc - leak from windscreen seal and rattle
from heat shield, but both minor.
Appearance - Fairly dated inside now, but clean and smart. Outside looks lovely
- if you're into 4x4 type cars.
Cost of Ownership - Only owned for a couple of months and, having moved up
from a Fiat Grande Punto, this is obviously more thirsty on the petrol, probably
averaging around 30-35 miles per gallon, which isn't bad for it's size. Nothing
spent on maintenance yet (touch wood) and should prove to be very reliable.
Fun Factor - If you like 4x4 cars, but won't actually be doing that much
offroading, this car is for you. Personally, I think it's fantastic to drive

Pros

Great gas milage, Comfortable, Practical, Good visibility, Almost no blind spots, Rear passenger arm rests, Multiple cup holders in front and back, Picnic Table included in the back, Easy access to spare.

Cons

No arm rest for passenger

Reliable —
This car has all the important components of a dependable and practical car. Handling could be better but wider tires make a big difference. Gas millage is very good and if you are used to 4 cylinder cars this car will never feel like it lacks power. It also drives and handles very well on dirt roads.

Pros

Cons

2001 Honda Cr-v —
For a small car-based SUV, the interior is very roomy and flexible. The flat cabin floor makes the front seats feel spacious. I can carry 8' lumber inside the vehicle with ease. We bought the car used in 2004, had a few weeks for a shake-down period and then took it on a 12,500 mile road trip without a hitch. Since we had a baby a year ago, we just added a Thule cargo box to the roof rather than trading up to a larger vehicle. We really like the car.

Pros

It's quick, maneuverable and economical and still holds a lot of mail.

Cons

Not the best in snow without the needed power and clearance.

25

Great Mail Car —
I use this car to carry mail on R5 Hastings. It works good and gets pretty good gas mileage compared to other larger SUV's. I like that it has the gear shift on the column and nothing in the way on the floor. It's quick, maneuverable and economical and still holds a lot of mail.

Pros

Cons

It's less quiet than a sedan. The body style is described as a station wagon.

25

Reliable, Dependable, Fun To Drive —
I bought this car when it had less than 5000 miles on it. It had been driven by a dealer's family member. I had a moonroof and remote start added to this CR-V. An after market back up camera was also installed.

Pros

The car is very comfortable and drives efficiently. Great cargo room and for an SUV it gets decent gas mileage.

Cons

N/A

25

Love It —
I love the vehicle. It holds a multitude of items and has a good get up and go. The seats are extra comfortable and has amazing leg room for people of all sizes. The turning radius is great and the handling is efficient.

Pros

The picnic table! Never got to use it though, and i always thought the tires looked too small in proportion to the size of the vehicle. And even if I wanted to get bigger ones, the wheel wells wouldn't allow for it, so I'd have to take it to a special car shop... and ... umm NO

Cons

it's made for little people (which makes it uncomfortable for regular sized to large people), the passengers seat didn't come with an armrest, and the cupholders were lousy. Oh, and it got 20 mpg- and thats with VTech on a 4 cylinder engine (yes, I know its heavier than the civic, but come on, it's still built on the civic's frame)

01 Honda Cr-v —

Love ItBy darth_dave
